Capacity Planning
Capacity planning is an essential feature of demand planning software that enables businesses to evaluate their production capabilities in relation to forecasted demand. It helps organizations assess whether they have sufficient resources, including labor, equipment, and materials, to meet future demand efficiently. By analyzing production capacity against anticipated requirements, capacity planning supports informed decision-making regarding resource allocation, scheduling, and potential expansion. This feature allows businesses to identify bottlenecks, avoid overproduction or underutilization, and maintain optimal operational efficiency. Capacity planning ultimately helps organizations balance supply and demand, reduce costs, and ensure timely fulfillment of customer orders while supporting long-term growth strategies.
